I just tasted my new red palm oil on its own, I haven't gotten to try it yet. I get what people say when they said there wasn't a substitute for it, it is so unique of a flavor!!!! I honestly wanna just fry an egg in it now, it's super umami/savory and it does have a slight nutty taste to it but I cannot think of anything to even compare it to, it's almost meaty tasting.

Kimchi + Soondubu Jiggae with steamed veggies, rice, and banchan

Matcha Mochi and Hovenia(raisin tree) tea for dessert 💕

*there’s two because I was eating with my partner, but he doesn’t like as much tofu in his 😂

Bringing my kiddo dinner at his math team competition. They placed 2nd out of like 30 schools! I am so insanely proud of him 🖤

Tuna Yaki Onigiri and regular Onigiri in kimchi/daikon, perilla furikake, and umeboshi stuffed style.

Plus some homemade Tsukemono (pickles) - Suzuke (vinegar) shoyuzuke (soy sauce) and shiozuke (salt) versions. The garlic is actually store bought though. I’ve never been able to properly pickle whole garlic unfortunately, because it’s my favorite kind 😩

Not pictured - tamagoyaki, miso tofu soup, lychee mochi and hovenia (oriental raisin) tea.
